KANSAS ST: QB Jesse Ertz was solid for the Wildcats a year ago, and he should be a lot better this season. His dual-threat ability makes it very hard for defenses to defend, as he is also joined in the backfield by the explosive Alex Barnes. But while the offense is impressive, this Kansas State defense certainly has question marks. The Wildcats lack big name playmakers, and they'll need a number of guys to step it up this season.

UCLA: If UCLA can get a nonexistent running game from last year going then the team just might be able to turn some heads. Returning to the Bruins are future NFL starter QB Josh Rosen and some key contributors from a defense that allowed only 27.5 PPG (58th in CFB) last season.
